Custom Tag/Internationalization question

[jb...@aiusa.org]

I'm trying to create a custom tag that will let a user choose from a list 
of actions, and then get redirected to the selected action.  The action 
descriptions need to be internationalized.  I'm trying to figure out the 
best design approach.  I'm guessing there is something a lot cleaner than 
what I'm coming up with.

Here is my current approach.

1) The map of actions and associated keys to the resource bundle are 
stored in a Map in the servlet context using the init method in a plugin.

2) The tag builds a little form with a select box.  The doEndTag method 
calls routines to start the select tag, and then to add the options.  The 
routine to add the options then accesses the appropriate resource bundle 
and looks up the key values in the bundle as it writes out the options. 
The associated actions are the select value.

3) When an entry is selected, the form is submitted to an action that just 
pulls the requested action out of the request and does a redirect (I don't 
need to save any info, and do want the URL to change to the new action).

Any suggestions for doing this in a simpler/cleaner way?

Thanks,
